Pool cool: The experienced men’s fashion editor Robert Rabensteiner was on the other side of the camera and modeled the Swedish brand CDLP with a capsule collection with Passalacqua, a luxury hotel at the Italian Lake Como.
Christian Larson, co-founder and creative director of CDLP, shot the campaign on site on the five-star property, showed Rabensteiner, who played tennis, cooled his feet in the pool and reached an aperitivo in the Red Marble Bar.

The collection includes pool shirts, shorts, bathing clothes, T-shirts and a hand-lived silk scarf that is only produced by Lake Como in a factory. Everything is offered for sale in the Passalacqua Hotel, in its online boutique and on CDLP.com.
CDLP is not a stranger for hospitality, since he has already registered cooperation with Cuixmala, the Hotel Grand Tremzzo and the Grand Hôtel from Stockholm.
Rabensteiner is known for his long term at L’Uomo Vogue and is appreciated for his sharp taste, personal elegance and his calm lawyers.
CDLP was founded in 2016 by Larson, a film director and photographer, and entrepreneur Andreas Palm. It first specializes in underwear, T-shirts, socks and objects for men at the pool, at home and for sports.
The brand name is an abbreviation of the expression “Un Cader de la Providence”, which is translated as a “gift from Providence”.
